Examine Tables 6.1-6.3 and express
The daily intake of human adult in kilocalories.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The average human consumption in a day is
`(10^(7)J)/(4.2xx10^(3)J"/"kcal) cong 2400kcal`
We point out a common misconception created by newspapers and magzines. They mention food values in calories and urge us to restrict diet intake to below 2400 calories. What they should be saying is kilocalories (kcal) and not calories. A person consuming 2400 calories a day will soon strave to death! 1 food calorie is 1 kcal.

An adult weighting 600 N raises the centre of gravity of his body by 0.25 m while taking each step of 1 m length in jogging. If he jog for 6 km, calculate the energy utillised by him in jogging assuming that there is no energy loss due to friction of ground and air. Assuming that the body of the adult is capable of converting 10% of energy intake in the form of food. calculate the energy equivalents of food that would required to compensate energy utilised for jogging.
